In a lot of ways, I prefer cruises over theme parks. They can still be crazy, but it's a lot easier to truly unwind.We just booked this one too! We're long time park people, never been on a cruise, so super excited!
For example, I know it's not "free" but I love getting food and not having to worry about the bill. It adds to the vacation vibe. They can also be a lot easier to plan, especially nowadays with the Disney World app and the different hoops you have to jump though just to go for a couple of days. You also get to truly travel and experience new things, while also getting your Disney fix.
